Japarts

Japarts Japarts sells high-quality Japanese guitar parts and tools to luthiers, hobbyists and musicians. Brands we carry include Gotoh, DoMo and UO-Chikyu.

When a young Japanese luthier (Yusuke Kawakami) moved to Canada, he found he wasn't willing to leave all of Japan behind. He kept buying tools and parts from back home, primarily through DoMo Parts and Materials as well as from his father (also a luthier). Eventually, the president of DoMo convinced him to buy extras to sell to other luthiers in Vancouver. High quality Japanese parts and materials

sell themselves. The business grew too big for one person to handle in his spare time. Longtime friend and website collaborator Josh Gemmell was brought in to handle communication with the customers. Japarts is now an official agent of Gotoh, a proud supplier of DoMo, and is always seeking out exceptional Japanese tools to bring to luthiers and repair specialists around the world.

We use Gotoh's product codes for our listings and orders. Most other vendors use their own codes. The codes that Gotoh uses can be very helpful to understand the details of the products, but they're not necessarily easy to read. Here is a quick breakdown of the details you can find in Gotoh's classical tuner product codes.

Classical tuners are a bit more complicated than other types of products in that you can't necessarily choose any option. For example, there is one model that is made with 39mm spacing (40G2000) and isn't made with 35mm spacing. Two of the 510 series models (plate style C and plate style P) had the option of 39mm spacing but are not in the current catalog and we will need to ask Gotoh if they are available on a case-by-case basis.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
